The remediation and management of old municipal solid waste (MSW) landfills are pivotal for advancing urban ecological sustainability. This study aims to systematically assess the mechanical properties, environmental behaviors, and synergistic mechanisms of remediated landfill-mined soil-like material (SLM) through advanced oxidation and stabilization processes. The results indicate that synergistic remediation with advanced oxidation and stabilization processes significantly increased the mechanical strength of stabilized SLM to over 0.6 MPa, and reduced the organic content by about 20 %, making it suitable for reuse in geotechnical engineering. The choice of oxidizing agents markedly affected the mechanical properties of stabilized SLM; for example, the application of sodium percarbonate in conjunction with stabilized materials further enhances the strength by simultaneously promoting the pozzolanic reaction. Furthermore, the heavy metal leaching behaviors of the stabilized SLM were found to be environmentally safe. The enhanced performance of stabilized SLM is primarily attributed to the synergistic effects of oxidation and pozzolanic reactions. The advanced oxidation process decreases organic matter content and increases its stability by reducing the proportion of readily decomposable O-alkyl C. Concurrently, pozzolanic reactions produce ettringite crystals and C-(A)-S-H gels, which not only fill micropores and improve particle bonding but also aid in heavy metal immobilization through surface adsorption, complexation, and physical encapsulation. These insights provide a comprehensive understanding of the remediation processes and resource recovery potential of SLM from old MSW landfills.
